Hi Wilfred

Thanks for the feedback.

Unfortunately, we do not offer such a feature. The search box in a frontend search forms does not offer autocomplete or suggestions, basically because we can not guess the set of terms that you would want to see as offered as suggestions.

I can think of a feature where you actually define the set of words that you want to offer as suggestions, but this might become quite complex to maintain in the long run. We can investigate this, but I would say this is not a top priority at the moment.

Thanks for your understanding, hope this helps.

Regards.
